4. SECURITY.
4.1.

5.4. With respect to each Subprocessor, Datameer shall ensure that the arrangement between Supplier and the Subprocessor is governed by a written contract including terms which offer at least an equivalent level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those set out in this Data Processing Addendum (including those set out in Paragraph 4).
